Safety Around the Automobile

If the correct precautions are not taken, working on automobiles can be dangerous. In a school lab, in your garage, or at an automotive repair facility you need to be aware of people and your surroundings at all times. People are needlessly hurt each year through carelessness. When safety precautions are followed, working on the automobile can be a rewarding experience. Safety glasses, eyewash stations, first aid kits, fire extinguishers, and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are some of the items that should be available in an automotive work area.
